My deepest condolences to the family. Don was such an awesome person, he had a smile that would brighten any room. My experience in working with Don in the late 80´s early 90´s was memorable. Don was dedicated to manufacture material handling components / solutions for his customers. Professional and energetic driven by pride, he never forgot his love and dedication to his wife Julie and family. Rest in Peace my Friend!
